Spoke tips

I've broken 3 spokes in two weeks on the rear wheel (700), and had them replaced at the LBS. (two visits) After doing a search and reading previous advice, links, etc- I made sure they checked the tension the second time.

After the first repair, I didn't lose a spoke for ~110 miles and have ridden about 40 miles since the last repair.

So my question is; Is there something I should be doing or checking as the mileage increases that could help me prevent more snaps? If I continue to have the problem, can I go to a lower gage spoke (is that an option)?

Thanks for your time.
